Napoleon Eonapar.e,, Frishtful Temper.

Paris Letter in London telegraph.
In the second and last instalment of his re-
markahle essay Napoleon Bopaparte, which
appears in the current number of the Revue des
Deux Mondes, NJ. Tane cites several curious
anecdotes in proof of the impusive and electric
character of the conoueror. The Malatestas and
Borgias Of the country whence came the ances
tors of the great Corscan, were not more sudden
and vehement in their emotions and desires.
With Napoeoa no idea was simply speculative.
It needed instantaneous realization, and his
thought. as was sand by De Pradt, became
passion as it grew. On one occasion, when dis
cussing the terms of the concordat with Voney,
he gave the Senator kick in the stomach which
sent him to bed for a week When suddenly
surprised by Josephine St Cloud with a lady
he dashed after his wife. who had only time to
escape, and in the evening showed his anger by
breaking the furniture rear his hands. On an
other occasion. before the empire. he treated
Berthier in a scurvy manner in presence Of a
room full of people. Talleyrand. in his quizzical
way told Berthier that his master was thinking
of proclaiming himself king. whereupon the ill.,
advised courtier went over to compliment the
first consul. Napoleon's eyes daried fury at the
word king. and putting his fist under the chin of
the unlucky Berthier. he pushed him toward the
wall saving, idiot, who sent you here 10 raise
nv bilel' He swore and stamped while debating
to his secretaries, and in dressing himself often
flung his clothes III the fire if they did not suit
him. In Short NJ. Taines interesting notice is
striking proof Of ST. A1sustne's saying that
there is no great genius without an admixture of
madness in his composition.

A Goose Doctor.

The story is told of a celebrated New England
doctor, who, when he just commencing his
career, received urgent message to come and
set fractured limb. He hurried to the house
and found there goose, whose leg had been
broken by q bad boy with brick.
The doctor was not at all disconnected He
gravely examined and set the leg, and promised
10 call the next day. He made a number of
visits to his feathered patient, and at length pro-
nonnced it cured. Then he handed in a bill,
whose length. breadth and extent simply horri-
fed the would be jokers.
They had to pay, and the doctor remarked. in
taking leave, th.-t he thought of making spe-
cialty OF geese. and hoped they would send for
him again to attend the next case they had.
This proved an effectual cure for practical jok-

The Journal has been. with commendable zeal,
but with very poor discretion. attempting for
the last two months. to convince the News that
an outrage has heen perpetrated on the people
by the Green Smith gang. Its argument has
been clear and convincing, but the journal can
yet learn a thing or two even from a feeble con-
temporary and one of those things is that any
thing not advanced by the News is auiacious
absurdlty, and no sympathy or encouragement
from that wonderfully astnte medium of nfor-
nation need be expected If the journal wants
the cooperation of the News just kindly allow it
to lead off, that's all.

JEFFERSON CITY.

The annual bsl masque OF the Imperial
Club took place Friday night at Madison
Hall. A large number of invitations had
been issued and the hall was crowded with
the elite of capital society, and with a
number of visiting bellies and beauties from
other parts of the state. A complete list,
either of the guests of the club or of the
toilets worn, would occupy too much space.
Suffice it to say that for elegance, richness
and unniqueness of toilets, the bal masque
surpassed any previous affair given by the
club.
Among the noticeable toilets of the eve
ming, of both maskers and those who ap-
peared unmasked, were the following:
Miss Mittie McCulloch, school girl. short
full red cashmere skirt, with white mall

WHEN The WAX BROKE OUT,
Judge Leonard was an extensive

armed every negro and all the men,

himself at their head, babe the enemy
defiance. He was not molested. He
died soon afterward beloved by every
body. His widow still lives in Fay

who know her.
